Boys can make good dads
Article Abstract:
Research indicates that young men have the potential to become good fathers, even though they often face considerable social disadvantages. It seems that many young fathers wish to become involved with their child, and this could be encouraged. They regard themselves as having an important role to fulfill, even if they cannot contribute financially to their child's well-being. It is clear that health professionals should give more consideration to young fathers, recognizing that early attachment between a child and its father is vital.

Scams for school
Article Abstract:
It is becoming increasingly common in the UK for parents to cheat to secure a place for their child at a particularly popular school. Some give a false address within the school's catchment area, while others begin attending church in order to gain a place at a church school. The Local Government Association is calling for parents who are found to have cheated to gain a school place to be fined 2,000 pounds sterling, but this is unlikely to deter parents who are really determined.

A great adventure, but does this rank as another giant leap for mankind?
Article Abstract:
Brian Jones and Bertrand Piccard, who have circumnavigated the earth in the hot air balloon 'Breitling Orbiter 3,' have established the record for the longest aerial flight in history, at 20 days. Their flight has been a very significant technical achievement, and they were in considerable personal danger, despite having an extensive back-up team. However, it is likely that interest in hot air ballooning will now wane, even though there will be other significant races.
